Google Earth: Abisko - Abiskojaure

An alphabetical list of some of the flowers we might see during our first day of hiking. All photos taken on location between Abisko and Abiskojaure.

Alchemilla sp	Lady's mantle
Astragalus frigidus
Dryas octopetala	Mountain avens
Gentianella tenella	Alpine milk vetch
Geranium sylvaticum	Wood cranebill
Linnaea borealis	Twinflower
Rhinanthus serotinus serotinus	Late-flowering yellowrattle
Saxifraga cernua	Slender gentian
Silene wahlbergella	Northern catchfly

This is far away from being a comprehensive list. You could see it more as an indication of possibilities, and the type of nature we are walking in. Many of the flowers above you will also see during the coming days, and some of them you already met before. Species will come and go as we continue our hike, but some will remain for the entire trip.
